MR Corvette C8 - General Discussion

[Dennisch]

Looks nothing like the test car,

That's probably because the test car is nothing but a C7~ish mule.

This is GM we're talking about here. That test car (C8 MR) is what the road car will look like for the most part (give or take some body panels). There is nothing in that render's design language that's GM, and GM would never make such a radical looking car into a production vehicle. Besides when was the last time a mule for an American car looked so much different from the real thing? Recall the C7 Corvette in 2013 as a mule, the general lines of what we saw with that car are identical to the C7 that made production. Basically everything on the C7 mule/camouflaged car is what we got. Same will go for this C8.

Horrendously ugly render, both in design and execution.

 

[TheNuvolari]

That's a Lotus Evora with Laraki Eptiome and Zenvo ST1 body kits and with strong Lamborghini vibes from a Ferrari concept car what is now available in GTAV.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

...Can't wait to see the real render, not sure why someone would green light this publication of something no better than I see on devinart.

And just when I was starting to trust Auto Bild, guess I'll stick them for F1 rumor news from now on.

Mid-Engine 2019 Corvette Front And Rear Fascias Leak From Factory

 

[catamount39]

A C7 on steroids and Viagra, intriguing.

 

[ND4SPD]

Somebody cue the it's happening gif.

 

[Slash]

I'm getting the feeling this isn't going to be a Cadillac. Everyone's being really secretive at work, as far as those who are preparing.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Not sure where to stick this, but:

[RACECAR]

Well, so much for the teaser video.

 

[TheCracker]

Wow. That ZR1 looks terrible. It's like some sort of 2001 Fast and the Furious tribute.

 

[Carbon_6]

Or something that would pop up in Transformers.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet one of these appears in the next film, if it's not already been green lit.

 

[Joey D]

Wow. That ZR1 looks terrible. It's like some sort of 2001 Fast and the Furious tribute.

Funny you should say that, this was the first car that sprang to mind when I saw it:

 

[Exorcet]

Ditch the hood and recolor the roof and it looks fine. I'm just glad to see that it looks like a serious performance car.

 

[Silver Arrows]

The C7 ZR1 reminds me of someone's customized Coquette in GTA Online.

 

[RocZX]

The new LT5 is ugly. The new LT engines are ugly when compared to the LS.

The old LT5 in the C4 ZR1 was just gorgeous

 

[Darla Starch]

The C7 ZR1 reminds me of someone's customized Coquette in GTA Online.

Get me one in neon pink and I'll agree with this.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Get me one in neon pink and I'll agree with this.

I hope I don't have to pay insurance fees when I destroy it with an RPG.

 

[GTboyz]

I hope I don't have to pay insurance fees when I destroy it with an RPG.

Well you'd still have to prepare being inadequately cursed at by a 10 year old.

"Hey, I'm gonna take the C8 mule to Mickey D's, you guys want anything?"

 

[CodeRedR51]

My money is still on Detroit for the debut...

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

"Hey, I'm gonna take the C8 mule to Mickey D's, you guys want anything?"

Can just imagine the staff: "Yeah, one Big Mac and a coffee for the... car covered in tape"

 

[TheCracker]

Those snowflake wheels are very 'seasonal'

And ugly.
